'It has evolved 18 years and has produced over 170 highly successful open source Apache projects.' \
" But what is it and how does it work?\n\nLearn the core behaviors that make up the Apache Way, " \
'and how they are used in successful Apache projects from core technologies, to big data, to ' \
"user facing projects.\n\nThe behaviors in the Apache Way are required for all Apache projects, " \
'but can be simply used by any open source projects. Distributed ' \
'decision making, open communication, do-ocracy, and diverse communities are the cornerstones.' \
"\n\nBenefit from the experience of over 5,000 Apache committers and 170 successful projects by " \
"applying these behaviors and techniques in your own projects! \n",

"to mental institutions or 'facilities'. Fast forward to today and words like committed and " \
'commitment are used throughout the Open Source world. Are we all a little crazy? - Perhaps!' \

"We'll share feedback that served as concentrate focus on mission and usability. " \

'title' => 'A Tale of Two Developers: Finding Harmony Between Commercial Software Development and the Apache Way',
'teaser' => 'Learn from the real-life lunchtime dialog between an experienced Apache committer and a new coder.',
'submitter' => 'wang',
'speakers' => ['wang', 'Alex Leblang'],
'abstract' => "Apache community members can reference tenets from the Apache Way such as \u201Ccommunity over " \
"code\u201D and \u201Copenness\u201D as if it were second nature. While they may sound simple, " \
'these concepts can be foreign to developers coming to open source for the first time. ' \
'Success as an Apache contributor stresses skills not emphasized in other types of software ' \
'development, including reconciling the requirements of the upstream development process with ' \
"the realities of running a commercial software business.\n\n" \
'With the assistance of choreographed Socratic dialogue, our two protagonists, an experienced ' \
'Apache committer and an enthusiastic young gun contributor, explore the tensions of working on ' \
'an Apache project as employees of a for-profit company. The audience will learn practical ' \
'advice and problem solving techniques for working effectively as part of an Apache community. ' \
'By the end, our greenhorn comes to understand that the yin and yang of commercial software ' \
"development and the Apache Way can exist in harmony.\n\nOur talk contextualizes the Apache Way " \
'for developers who are paid to work on open-source full-time, drawn from our real-world ' \
'experience working at Cloudera. ' \
'This is presented through a series of short vignettes accompanied by intervening discussion and ' \
'review slides. Tenets of the Apache Way like meritocracy, community, and hats are introduced ' \
'and referred to throughout as the backbone to building strong open-source communities. ' \
'We examine the tension between corporate pressures and open-source, emphasizing the underlying ' \
"value that companies gain from open-source software.\n\n" \
"Our two main characters are:\n* Alex, an energetic young developer who is new to open source " \
"but not to development. Excited to get stuff done on this new project.\n* Andrew, a long-time " \
"Apache committer who takes Alex under his wing and teaches him the importance of open-source.\n" \
"\nThe outline for our skits are:\n* Act 1: Introduction to Apache and the Apache Way, FAQs from " \
"Alex as someone getting started as a new contributor\n* Act 2: How to build consensus when " \
"there's conflict (e.g. someone -1's your patch), public communication, demonstrating merit " \
"and the path to committership\n* Act 3: No jerks allowed. Andrew does a heel turn and is " \
'ruling the project with an iron fist, Alex intervenes in a ' \
'come-to-jesus/student-becomes-the-teacher moment. Re-emphasize the importance of community, ' \
"and how dictators are bad for projects.\n",
